The use of environmental and social standards by German first‐tier suppliers of the Volkswagen AG
Abstract
Sustainable supply chain management requires suppliers to be evaluated against a wider set of criteria. Quality standards (ISO 9000) play a central role for evaluating suppliers' economic performance, e.g. in the automotive industry. Regarding sustainability, the implementation of environmental and social standards could play a similar role. But almost no data is available on their degree of implementation or their importance for supplier evaluation. The aim of this survey (conducted in autumn 2003) was to evaluate whether and to what degree environmental and social standards have been implemented in the German car industry. The survey yielded 111 usable questionnaires, equalling a response rate of 29%. The results of the survey show that environmental standards, particularly ISO 14001, are already widely used, while this is not the case for social standards. The social dimension of sustainability has been lacking in implementation so far. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
